Major GroupsIntroduction
• Significance of Digit ‘0’ and ‘9’ Where a given level of classification is not
divided into groups or occupations at thenext more detailed level of classification‘0’ is used to code the position of the next
detailed level e.g. 5120 ‘Cooks’
Case Studies10
Structure
Major GroupsIntroduction
• Significance of Digit ‘0’ and ‘9’ Digit ‘9’ denotes residual occupational
groups Usually comprise a range of the less
common types of occupational groupswhich are not significant enough to justifya separate code e.g. 42119 ‘Other tellers and counter clerks’, 5199
‘Personal Service Workers Not Elsewhere Classified’

Occupations with Multiple Tasks and Duties
87
Applicationi. Multiple Tasks and Duties
Two priority rules if the respondent reported multiple tasks:
Rule 1 – Rule of “Highest Skill Level”Rule 2 – Rule of “Production Taking Precedence”
Major GroupsIntroduction Case Studies
88
Rule 1 – Highest Skill Level
Rule 1
Where a job has multiple tasks requiring
different skill levels, the job is classified
according to the tasks which require the
highest skill level
Major GroupsIntroduction Case Studies

Example
Occupation = Delivery Driver
Tasks = Drive van to deliver goods
SSOC = 83223 (Van driver)
Instead of 93339 (Other material and freight handling workers)
Rule 1 – Highest Skill Level

Rule 2 – Production Taking Precedence
Rule 2
Where a job has multiple tasks associated
with different stages of production and
distribution, the job is classified according
to the tasks related to production which
take precedence over those related to
sales or transportation
Major GroupsIntroduction Case Studies

Rule 2 – Production Taking Precedence
Example
Occupation = Bakery assistant
Tasks = Bakes & sells breads
SSOC = 75122 (Bread baker)
